Know before you buy
The Connecticut Chair uses high-resiliency, high-density foam cores wrapped in polyester. This construction is designed to provide a firm, supportive feel that maintains its shape over time rather than sinking.
The seat cushions are permanently attached to the frame to maintain a clean, tailored look. The back cushions are semi-attached, meaning they are secured to the frame to prevent shifting while still allowing for a bit of movement.
The chair requires only minor assembly, typically involving the attachment of the legs. All necessary hardware is included, and the process is straightforward enough to be completed with basic household tools.
While the chair features a lower profile for a relaxed, lounge-style aesthetic, it is designed with a standard seat height that balances comfort with accessibility. If you have specific mobility concerns, you may find the 34-inch total height slightly lower than a traditional high-back armchair.
The chair uses premium elastic webbing for both the seat and back suspension. This creates a consistent, flexible base that absorbs weight evenly, offering a more uniform sit compared to traditional spring systems.
Yes, the double top stitching is a functional detail that reinforces the seams while providing a tailored, polished finish. It is particularly durable on leather and select fabrics, helping the upholstery maintain its structure and clean lines.
